Architectural Structures, Sculptural and Decorative Elements of the Parish Church, Fót

Summary/Abstract: Architectural Structures, Sculptural and Decorative Elements of the Parish Church in Fót An orientalising style with arabesque elements began to spread in European and North African architecture in the second quarter of the 19th century. The Parish Church of Fót – one of the major works of the romantic historicism in round-arch style (Rundbogenstil) in Hungary, commissioned by István Károlyi and built between 1845–1855 – shows this influence. The planning and execution testify to inspirations from the Western European Romanesque cathedrals in the structure. The painted and sculpted geometric and floral decorations are closely connected to Arabic and European Romanesque ornamental motifs.
